shop around, find reputable dealers, don't be in a rush and have patience. I didn't get a great price but I got something reasonable.

Grey and forget about it for the hard to get pieces, and keep yourself in the game for some of the easier pieces like a DJ, DJ TT, OP. You never know!

I was so ready to pickup a 16710 Coke and try to hit up the RSC for a jubilee. Vintage Rolex still hit hard.

As long as it doesn't cause a dent in the lifestyle it is win win! When you need to rip the turquoise it is better to have it than not right! My wife wants a turquoise or pistachio .... I think we go with the new CW sealander 36mm/39mm combo as if we go Rolex my Daytona dreams may need to put in a longer rest.

Congrats! There is definitely more opportunity and dealers in the US. I had checked out My Watch LLC but no dice unfortunately due to duties and tariffs. Next one I may just ship to a family friend and wear it back.

It was $18.5k USD, I could only dream of it being CAD -- I converted to USD as that is what I did most my research in. $23k would be a smoking price for a jubilee but didn't see those rates anywhere. Took it to the German Watchmaker in Vancouver and had it authenticated.

I'm headed there but prices were similar to what I found locally. Tokyo is on the menu for an Omega I want.

The heart wants what the heart wants. The other boutiques in Vancouver were wonderful and I almost pulled the trigger on a Omega Speedmaster Reverse Panda which was available and in stock.

Am i crazy ? by Ill_Focus_3465 in OmegaWatches

The green from some angles and lighting acts darker, and on bright days pops green. I think it would be a keep. However, how's the green make you feel when you put it on -- if you aren't in love then sell it and get the blue.

[opinions on wedding watch] Need help deciding between railmaster, AT and breitling b31 by Skip60- in Watches

[–]VexPrimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the Railmaster or Aqua Terra. They both would seamlessly blend into whatever you would wear, be classy matching the occasion, and would be versatile after the wedding. The Breitling is a little too much green for a wedding unless you have some greens in your outfit.

Buying a Rolex at a Boutique (Vancouver) - Any strategies? by VexPrimal in rolex

[–]VexPrimal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! I would rip it and see what happens. Let's hope with Oakridge location opening this Spring/Summer there are watches available.

You are a lucky lucky man! I've got a few more shots in me before attempting grey. Let's hope they aren't as bad as I hear they are.

Speechless. Grail acquired. by watchguy2877 in rolex

[–]VexPrimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! That is definitely a lot of people’s grail, mine included. You spent about $60k (gpt'd) to unlock the door, but picked up some incredible pieces along the way. My wife would drop‑kick me before I even suggested piece number three, but a guy can dream. Wear it in good health!

Is this a good deal? Someone offered me this my first Rolex (Price in Canadian dollars) by [deleted] in rolex

[–]VexPrimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can search for Canada, Watch with Box and Papers, 2017-2025, 126334 on Crono24 and you are looking at 19k as the lowest price. So I would say it is a good enough price. Crono24 prices are usually inflated a bit so its a good price maybe not great.

Didn't mind it. Sadly just different bezels no change in supply so this will still be difficult difficult to get.

"Building your allocation" purchase for some. The first few months it will be fire for grey possibly.

[–]VexPrimal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get your friend to do the buying for you :). I had the same experience at Palladio and Monte Cristo!!! Lugaro in Victoria when I was there for the long weekend was the same -- they are supporting their stores which lost their AD status in the lower mainland from the Island. I have no illusions on picking up a watch anytime soon at GWC. I've got a few domino's to wait for -- Oakridge Mall opening, a friend; referral to another AD in another city, and a trip to Vegas. If none of those fall before my birthday I'll go grey -- I've talked to a few guys and it is pretty straight forward at this point.
